We review efforts to further understand the development and nature of sensory processing mechanisms in the cat visual cortex. In vitro autoradiographic and homogenate assay techniques have been employed to determine the laminar distribution and characteristics of various neurotransmitter and neuromodulator receptor populations during postnatal development. Each receptor population shows a distinct laminar-specific pattern of binding, which, in most cases, is age-dependent. Changes in receptor number and affinity are also observed during postnatal development. These findings indicate that major alterations in the basic chemical circuitry of cat visual cortex are a normal feature of postnatal maturation and may play a role in plasticity mechanisms.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009419 Nerve Tissue Proteins Proteins, Nerve Tissue,Tissue Proteins, Nerve
D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D017981 Receptors, Neurotransmitter Cell surface receptors that bind signalling molecules released by neurons and convert these signals into intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Neurotransmitter is used here in its most general sense, including not only messengers that act to regulate ion channels, but also those which act on second messenger systems and those which may act at a distance from their release sites. Included are receptors for neuromodulators, neuroregulators, neuromediators, and neurohumors, whether or not located at synapses.
